Ever thought it was IMPOSSIBLE to have all of your favorite 80s hits in one place? That there was simply NO WAY to hear all of the hottest artists together in one jam-packed jam session? That you could ever only enjoy that much music in some magical world, where thousands of songs could easily fit on a lightweight portable device? Well, you're right. (That would be CRAZY.) So until then, we're offering you the musical deal of a lifetime!!

That's right, with the "Wreckin' Rock Power Mix," you'll never miss a beat. This colossal power-collection comes delivered to your doorstep in 6 dominating power-boxes of 23 LPs or 39 power cassette tapes. That's 846 power-hits!

"Ooh, what a feeling! When you're dancing on the... seriously, did you notice that this cake was written on upside-down? Really... look at it again."

"Hungry Like the Wolf"

"Lost in the bakery, too pink to hide. I'll cause a toothache right when you take a bite.Do do dooo do do doo do do doo do do doo do dooo dooooooo."

"She Blinded Me With Science"

"She blinded me with science (SCIENCE!) and failed me in the bakery."

"Tainted Love"

"Sometimes I feel I've got to uhn uhn run away. I've got to uhn uhn get away from all the cupcake cakes you sell to me..."

"Let's Get Physical"

"Crack that whip!"

...and more! You'll never find a more rocktastic compilation of all of the best artists from yesterday and beyond. And if you call now, we'll also include a FREE bonus 8-track cassette of all of the best songs from the 70s! These songs will blast your earholes into another sound dimension!!

"Lean on Me"

"Lean on me... when you're not strong, and I'll be your friend. I'll help you caaarry severaltiersofcakeandfrosting. Andpossiblysomeprincessflotsam!"

"I Melt With You"

"I'll stop the world and melt this food. You've seen the Cake Wrecks, and they're getting better all the time."

and "Crocodile Rock."

"I remember when rock was young. Me and Suzy had so much... DEAR GOD, what IS that thing!?? AAAAAAAgggGHGHH! EEeeeAAAAGHHH!!"

Call now!

Other artists include Emily W., Cassandra B., and Becky W. in the hot 80s trio "The Wreckinettes." Bonus tracks by Susan A., Megan P., Sarah A., and Annie H. from the popular ballad band "Susan and The Wreckies." And of course, no compilation album would be complete without the greatest hits of top rocker hair band, "Possum Wreck Slashers," with vocal styling from Jessica E., Amanda H., and Rachel C. Rock on!!

I don't think the "Let's get physical" cake is technically a wreck - I mean, it's very well done and everything is spelled correctly, it's just really funny! I wonder if Shelley is the instructor or the poor hapless girl being whipped into shape?

Poor poor melty cake - I'll bet you still tasted good. Or not.

And the amount of frosting on that crocodile cake made my teeth feel like his!

Hey now, give the "run away" CCC some credit! That baker finally learned that cupcakes mushed together cannot possibly make the shape of lips! *Obviously* the best solution is to just shorten the icing to the desired shape :)

HA! I started hearing all these songs in my head as I read through these - almost like the muzak in the grocery store!And I agree with the other comments here - we need another of your great audio/video versions please to accompany this post!

The 'dancing on the ceiling' cake is like one of those optical illusions where some see a lamp and some see two faces -- and most immediately see only the other thing once it is pointed out. I saw the upside down gymnast at first, but the girl is clearly demonstrating that new Olympic competition: overhead balance beam.Though dismounts are incredibly easy, all contestants get 1000 difficulty points right off the bat.

By the way, I'm pretty sure 'I'll Melt With You' was released in 1982.

wv: solart. A contraction of 'solar art', like the first cake features a contraction of 'daddy'.

Ok so I'm laying here with ice on my head because of a migraine, feeling like I had to do something....so I see cakewrecks on my newsfeed. Laughing so hard at your captions and the pink THING doesn't help migraine pain, but it sure helped my mood! Thanks for sharing your wrecks peeps, for one that lacks the crafty gene, it makes me feel not so alone in this talented world

I would love to have some really witty observation to make about these cakes. Unfortunately, my brain is still going, "Um. . . uh. . . but. . . wha. . ." I think it's scary that while I did notice "Dady" on the first cake, I totally missed "brithday" & had to go look again. Is my brain (brian?) THAT immune to misspellings that now it thinks they are correct?

Time to break out my Veggie Tales CDs- "Bob and Larry Sing the 70's" and "Bob and Larry Sing the 80's" most of these songs are there. Now where did I put my leg warmers and hair crimper? Oh, there they are, right under my poster of Ricky Schroeder. This was too cool!

I was laughing at the "crocodile rock" cake, and my 2 year old son came over, pointed, and shouted, "that's scary!" He then proceeded to look at the rest of the pictures and laugh at each one. I think he's a future wreckporter in the making!

so Im not just thinking about this particular post because as wrecks go, these arent the worst. But, I look at this site and think two things.

First is, who actually thought that their cakes looked good enough to sell?!?!?!

Second, who actually spends money on cakes that look like these!?!?!?

I am a pastry chef, so i LOVE this site, but I also am just dumbfounded that there are just terrible decorators out there and that people buy them (and I dont mean the people on this website that bought them BECAUSE they looked funny!)

Ohhhh those hilarious wreckerators are at it again. Brithday and dady? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Not to mention my favorite song "Tainted Love" is now stuck in my head. So much to blame the wreckerators for here lol.

A-Ha! U2 can have a wrecked cake! Which reaction do you want when you see your wrecked cake: tears or fears? These were clearly created by simple minds and anyone could see with their naked eyes that these are wrecks. Some people clearly don't understand modern English, or they would not misspell words like that! Some of that frosting looks like something left behind by a flock of seagulls, like all you have to do is squeeze out the frosting. I know mostly women decorate cakes, but I think there were some men at work here, too. (If they were men without hats, I hope they wore hair nets.) I wonder what the cure for this madness is. Maybe the decorators need more REM sleep. I think I'll have a taco instead. The post was great, but I'd put them in a new order.

In the 60s and 70s, a company named Avalon Hill produced wargames that used cardboard pieces and paper maps with hexagons. During this entire time the colors for the sides were those exact shades - described as "Baby Blue" and "Frou Frou Pink".

Its hard to get into the US versus Nazis at the Battle of the Bulge or Lee versus Meade at Gettysburg with those colors.

Well maybe the wreckerators are forced, much like yours truly, to listen to horrible 80s music while making cakes all day (I hear all the songs you have referenced on a regular basis at work). So far I have not incorporated the songs into any cakes but now you have given me something to think about...

Now I have to find the picture from my 23rd birthday that exemplifies "Lean on Me." I came up for Thanksgiving and the day before, my Dad picked me up to take me for a flu shot. While filling out the paperwork for me and my brother, he asked the date. "November 26." "And your birthdate?" "November 26, 1980." Both he and my brother got panicked looks on their faces, my brother left to run an errand and I got whisked away to see a movie with Dad and my fiance just because Dad was in the mood to watch one before Thanksgiving. I got home to find my mom had made a German chocolate cake--my favorite. I was uber-excited until the middle of the song, when the cake split down the middle, candles-still-lit and fell to either side. We propped it up with spatulas and a copy of the David O. Mckay biography until it was done and my mom has ever since left the cake-baking to my sister-in-law or a baker.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
